Rain

It's raining today. Can you believe that shit? I can't. I looked out my window around 8:00 this morning and low and behold it was raining. Genuine, consistent, wet rain, with thunder and lightning and everything. Wow!

I thought about putting on my rain coat and galoshes and grabbing Captain Corky Jr so that we could play in a puddle or someshit, but then it occurred to me that I might get wet. Fuck that shit, and fuck the rain. Let all the other assholes in Louisville get wet. If I want to get wet I'll take a shower and drip drip dry in the privacy of my own bathroom. Captain Corky Jr won't want to get wet until he's at least 15, so I just let him sleep in his bassinet this morning. Please Note: The bassinet was a very, very smart purchase.

UPDATE: 8/22/2007It's hot and humid and nasty today. Captain Corky Jr and I are thinking about going out to hunt for rattlesnake. I swear rattlesnake tastes just like chicken, only without that chickeny after taste. Yum!

Corky jr will probably want to jump in puddles as soon as he can walk. Sorry. It's true. And you will be so in love with him that you will jump too and forget all about the fact that you hate getting wet.He is one of the cutest kids I have seen in a long time!!

About the bassinet being a good deal...when the time comes for Major Max to be eating solid food, get a Happy Baby Food Grinder (no kidding) Instead of feeding him canned/jarred baby food, you put your regular big people grub in the little food mill, grind it up and watch him make faces at your cooking. (start with things like a cooked green bean or a banana)It was the handiest, best baby gift anyone eve gave me, and damed if they don't still make the things! Bought one for a baby shower gift not too long ago. I got mine 33 years ago...

I LOVE playing in the rain, butI hate the way that my hair looks afterwards. Yuck. When my Kayla was about 3, all she ever wore were rubber boots. No, seriously, that's ALL. I used to have to coral her before she could get out of the house in nothing else... Ah, good times.... That baby just gets cuter every day. :)

cant you just spend hours just watching him sleeping huh. yep nothing nicer than going puddle splashing, but please make sure you wear more than just your wellies (rubber boots) or maybe not if you get a few photos posted ;-)

OK Corky...REALITY CHECK HERE...if you think for ONE minute that Max isn't gonna wanna run through any puddle he can find you are SERIOUSLY smoking some good weed...once he can walk, he will be alllll over puddles and mud...hee hee hee. You aint seen nothin yet baby!!!

We had a cradle that was similar in size to the bassinet, however it was on a frame and it rocked. My son, just two at the time, would walk past the cradle and when he thought no one was looking he would haul off and give it a good kick. And then run like hell.

When he gets older, take him on puddle walks. You put on bathing suits and then rain coats and rain boots, and then splash in every puddle along the way. My brothers and I would do it for hours when we were younger.

I want to hold Max so bad...I would always pray for when Donovan went ot sleep so I could have a moment to myself, but then a few minutes after he would fall asleep (looking so damn cute) all I would want to do is pick his cute little ass up again!

Babies are torture sometimes! Good idea not to take him out in the rain...i bet your Dr. would beat your ass silly!

Hey Corky, You can put spaghettios in the grinder and they grind up great! Cheese doodles...not so great.I'm gonna depend on you to experiment. Wait til you get to the half eaten, baby spit soggy Oreos...yum.The 5 second rule comes into play here, but on a different, albeit, soggier level.

It's been raining here 23/7 too... that last hour, combined throughout the week, it's been pacing itself...

Oh, and Poland had another tornado... fun! Now I can close my eyes and feel like freaking Dorothy on her way to freaking Oz in the middle of freakig Europe!!! Could you all just PLEASE stop using hairspray and let the hole in the ozon layer patch itself up or something, 'cause I can't take this freaking weather any more!!!!

Is this the end of a dry spell in Louisville? We had rain a lot of here in Indiana; maybe more than our share.

Do you think that you and Corky Jr. will find many rattlesnakes? I understand that there are a few copperheads in Kentucky. Do you have a special recipe for southern fried rattlesnake, and can you use copperheads in place of the rattlers. What I am I saying? Maybe you can stick to chicken, it might be safer. In most states, you can buy chicken at the grocery.

ok, i can't leave this alone. someone wrote: "Could you all just PLEASE stop using hairspray and let the hole in the ozon layer patch itself up or something, 'cause I can't take this freaking weather any more!!!!"

The ozone layer has nothing to do with climate change. THe ozone layer protects us from UV rays, nothing more, nothing less. Moreover, the hole is largely gone, thanks to the ban on CFC's.

*laughing*Captain, would you get a dedicated snake-cooking vessel, or would any old chicken fryer do?Or---snake meat might make for ergonomically good sushi: round shape = easier to roll?Hmm.I like the sound of anything fried better: put it on a stick, batter it, and deep fry it---sort of like a corn snake?*ducking*
